Abstract
WE have already reported some applications of electron spectroscopy in the study of chemical binding1. We showed that the shifts of the electron lines of an element can be correlated with its chemical state of oxidation. Our method makes use of Auger and photo electrons produced by X-rays and is called ESC A (electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis). Most of the results reported were obtained from the element sulphur, and electron spectra from this element have, for example, been used to solve a specific problem concerning the molecular structure of cystine S-dioxide2.
